Losing audio, quit doesn't work, can't add transition???

I've been using FCE HD on a dual G5 with no problems for a few months on my office machine. I just got a 2.66 Quad Zeon at home and I am having major issues. I seem to lose my audio on my captured media at random times. Once I reset it comes back, any ideas? Also, after that happens, I can't quit from the file menu, only force quit, or quit from the dock. Also, when I try to add a transition, I get an error that there isn't enough information to add, but the clips are several minutes long. Any help is very much appreciated.
Tom

The transition problem seems like the old business of not having handles on the clips.
It doesn't matter how long the clip is - it must have at least half a second cut off any end that touches a transition:-

With the audio are you referring to a loss of sync? This could be caused by your Easy Setup configuration differing from that of your camera.

  • Captivate 8: audio file doesn't work when I add it to an object slide

    Hi everyone,
    I have problems with the audio in Captivate 8.  This doesn't work when I press an object slide (button) that has an audio file incorporated. This issue doesn't happen when I add sound to an individual slide.
    I have tried to fix the problem by changing the preferences, but nothing
    Any suggestion is welcomed!!
    Evelyn

    An audio file that is attached to an object or a slide, will play when that object or slide become visible. I don't know what you mean by 'has an audio file incorporated'? Do you mean that it is attached to the button in its audio part of the Properties, which is in the Options tab? In that case the audio will just play when that button gets visible, if it is at the start of a slide, audio will play at the start of that slide.
    If you want an audio clip to play only when a button is clicked, you need to use an action 'Play audio', or make an audio object visible.

    Beware: if you do this with a simple action triggered by the button, the playhead will be released if that button has a pausing point.

  • How can i stop the i tune pop force quit doesn't work

    hi ,
    please help " how can i stop the i tune pop force quit doesn't work"

    Refunds on downloaded software are virtually nonexistent.
    I have had cases where I purchase software on a physical disk. If I don't like the software I can uninstall it from my computer and sell it legally. Recouping most of my loss.

    You'll have to upgrade your operating system first.
    Most, if not all, Cloud apps require at least OS X 10.7.

  • Force Quit Doesn't Work/Freezing, Crashing

    Oy. So I have to put this in context. Clutz that I am I dropped my Macbook Pro a year ago. Resulted in a cracked screen, screwed up optical drive and LED light/audio issues. Other than that it worked. It finally decided to clock out over the summer. Spent the money to get a new logic board(they pretty much gave me new computer and put my stuff on it). A few weeks after I got it back(and am now 4hrs away from nearest Apple store) It would freeze ocassionally(SBBD), no big deal, I'll force quit. Or reinstall that program(back then it was usually Mozilla Firefox, now it's kind of any program). As time has gone on it started freezing more frequently and force quit is no longer working. Had to look up what to do when force quit doesn't work, but the thing is, EVERYTHING freezes. I can usally click on a program(activity monitor) all I want, but it wont open. So this all results in having to force shut down, and it kills me inside to do that. Sooo I can wait until I'm back home and take this baby back to Apple, but I figured I'd give this a shot.
    Should have mentioned this, I recently uprgraded to Mountain Lion about a month ago, hoping it would help. Worked for a while...but no such luck.
    Programs that seem to crash most:
    Sibelius
    Mozilla Firefox
    Google Chrome
    iTunes
    Microsoft Word

    Forgot mention the important part. Was forced to force shutdown last night. Then I turned it back on. It got stuck on the white boot up page with Apple logo and loading circle for about 15 minutes. Fans were really load. Shutdown again and left it off all night. This morning I try it again and it makes an odd noise and till gets stuck on white screen for about five minutes Then it turns grey, and then it turns on.

  • I Mac(OS 10.6.5) Core Audio MIDI doesn't work

    I just bought iMac. Problem is Core Audio/MIDI doesn't work at all.
    I installed Logic Studio, Battery..but none of them working with MIDI interface.
    When I worked with Macbook(OS 10.5) before, there was no problem at all.
    I Used Mbox2 for audio interface and mic pre, and master keyboard with USB port as MIDI device.
    Now I can't work at all with my music project because of audio/MIDI problem.
    I tried to fix it opening Audio MIDI setup but I only get the message saying..
    "Required Software extensions are missing"
    and when I go to the the page after clicking OK, then it says that I need to get supported by software company for upgrade, which I have the latest version...
    also I get the message "Core MIDI quits unexpectedly...".
    These two message pop up every time I open Logic Studio too.
    I hope solution for this matter.
    I really need to focus on producing my music...

    So, after long work around which failed this is how i made it work!
    I think the problem is the latest update of the system (10.6.5) I am back now on 10.6.2 and all is fine : this is how i managed it based on the fact that the whole thing was working fine on my MBP.
    1. download a copy of SuperDuper from the net
    2.Open MBP and then firewire Target mode the iMac to the MBP
    3. with the SuperDuper clone the Hard disk of the MBP to the iMac
    This will erase all on your iMac and make its hard disc exactly the same as the MBP; it also makes it bootable.
    4.open iMac alone
    5. insert the original system dvd for the iMac and install the SnowLeopard system BUT DO NOT UPGRADE
    6.restart as demanded and you should be on 10.6.2
    with your desktop and hard disk running exactly as it was on your MBP
    7 when opening Logic (or the other pro apps like FCStudio pro then you will be asked for your serial numbers which it duly accepts
    8. all then should be running fine
    Total time depends on size of your MBP hard disk (for me it took c. 3 hours including the reinstall 10.6.2) but all is now as it should be

  • Need help...Force Quit doesn't work & keep crashing HD b/c of it

    For a week now, I have been trying to re-download my iTunes library from the iTunes store. Turns out, the problem has to do with the amount of downloads they put in my queue, which causes iTunes to crash. But, when it does crash, Force Quit doesn't work UNTIL I am forced to unplug the hard drive it was writing to. This is BAD and could kill my hard drive (I've had to do this AT LEAST 20 times this week and have repaired it 4 times with DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro during the past week).
    Is there ANY way to get force quit to work without having to do this to the hard drive?? Seagate is no help as their phone just rings...no customer support avail even though hours say they are open. I am using 10.4.10 and a 500GB Seagate Pro External Hard Drive. I would put this in iTunes, but Force Quit is a Tiger thing. Off topic a bit, do you think iTunes would crash less if I downloaded to my internal HD instead (though, not really feasible as my internal couldn't fit all the downloads anyway)???
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    The previous reply was correct -- the freeze you are experiencing has nothing to do with the number of songs in the iTunes queue. The problem is with your hard drive. The newer Seagate FreeAgent drives (and all FreeAgent Pros) use a chipset that does not play well with recent versions of MacOS. I am not sure if Seagate uses two individual chipsets: one for USB and one for eSATA (assuming you are using a FreeAgent Pro), or simple one that supports both protocols, but that is the causing your mysterious freeze.
    I have spent weeks troubleshooting this very same problem and have yet to find a solution. Right now, I am in standby mode until Apple releases 10.4.11 which is said to have fixed "issues with USB devices." I have tried many brands of external drives (Western Digital, Hitachi, roll-your-own, pre-FreeAgent Seagates) and they all work fine. I have even removed the drives from the FreeAgent Pro drives and put them into roll-your-own USB enclosures and they work fine. The problem is with the Seagate FreeAgent interface chip itself.
    Hopefully you can still return your new FreeAgent drive to the store you bought it from. I am a strong believer in Seagate drives and use them extensively at home and work (over a dozen externals total) and the FreeAgents have caused more trouble than I've ever experienced with an external device. As of now, I am using a Western Digital 750GB MyBook drive until Seagate or Apple can find a permanent fix for the issue.
    That being said, the FreeAgents have worked fine in the past and only recently have begun to have issues, so if you can, try rolling back to an earlier version of 10.4 and try again. Being a software developer, that option wasn't available to me.

  • When forced quit doesn't work???

    What do I do when forced quit doesn't work?? This happens occasionally when something freezes, like Logic did today. I force quit, and wait... and wait... and nothing happens. I try and restart and it keeps coming up with the same window: Logout timed out, please force quit to continue or cancel.
    Anyways I hit force quit over and over and nothing happens. I resolve to holding the button and manually restarting the computer. How can I get this thing to force quit?!!
    - All updated
    - Repaired permissions
    - Repaired disk (nothing was wrong anyways)

    Funny you should ask as I had the EXACT same problem this afternoon.
    I had to do a hard restart.
    But, then I got the gray spinning startup.
    So, I had to restart from my backup drive (thank you SuperDuper!).
    Then, 5 minutes later my internal hard drive reappeared.
    Then, I restarted from my internal drive.
    I had this problem in April (I took notes) and Apple replaced my hard drive.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • Since 2.2.1 upgrade, force quit doesn't work after an application freezes

    Sorry if this was posted before, but I couldn't find a post that matched my issue.
    Has anyone else noticed that since upgrading to 2.2.1 on the 3G, if an application freezes, force quit doesn't work. I have to do a hard reset inorder to get the OS to respond again. Even tried to just hold the power button to do a power off and it doesn't respond.
    Any advice? Tried restoring to 2.2.1 many times didn't help.

    Thanks for the response. I have done a many restores as "new iphone" and reinstalled apps. I normally get freezes when I'm in a twitter type application and using the "mini/lite safari browser" within the twitter app.
    When the phone doesn't freeze, I can force quit apps at will. It's only after a freeze (when I need force quit the most) does it not work....
    I would make a Genius Bar appointment but I can't recreate it at will.

  • Mdnsresponder will not quit.  Consumes above 100% CPU and kills my battery.  Also causes my fan to run constantly and my computer to get extremely hot.  Force quitting doesn't work.  It just comes back.

    mDNSResponder is a background process that runs all the time. If you kill it, it's relaunched automatically.

    Assuming you have (1) signed out, then (2) waited 30 minutes and it didn't work you will need to contact iTunes again.
